Jennifer was a person that made good things happen. She stepped up to the plate when no one else would and took on the responsibility of leading the Department of Homeland Security, Training Evaluation and Quality Assurance Group (TEQAG). An advisory group of training professionals from many of the DHS components. Her commitment to the program was inspirational and infectious so much so that the group would do all that we could to support her and the work of the group. On many occasion she would serve as the meeting host, Leader and scribe. When disagreements arose she would always work to find middle ground to help us move initiatives forward. She was a diplomat in her own right and worked tirelessly to ensure everyone's voice was heard. She was someone I respected, someone I admired and someone I will miss, but will always remember as a Friend.

How lucky are we to have known Jennifer Mills? This thought continues to run through my mind these past few days, that amidst tragedy, we were very lucky to have her in our lives, even for so brief a time. There are many that knew her for all of her 45 years, some for half of that, some for even less; but that was the beauty of knowing Jennifer, the moment you met her, you had a friend. Jennifer wore her heart on her sleeve, gave warm hugs to strangers, and always shared her amazing smile like a badge of honor. She had a tremendous laugh that was so loud, you found yourself smiling, even if you didn’t hear the joke. And Jennifer was a motivator! Whether she was sharing good or bad news, you went along with it, because of the way she shared it. The nature of our work is very reactionary, and as such, Jennifer often had to be the bearer of bad news. Well when it came from Jennifer, it didn’t always seem like bad news. Almost as if she had pulled some magical trick on you, with her sweetness, and her empathy for the new situation, you realized in the middle of the conversation that while it might not be good, she was definitely in your corner. I remember during one Lent, she encouraged me to go in on a “swear jar” with her. We would give a quarter for every curse word we used. We ended up with $6.50 in the jar, with me donating $4.50 of it. She asked what we should do with the money, and I told her since she was far better than me, she had won a beer. It was only over that beer that she revealed she has counted “Darn” and “Shoot” among her curse words. At the end of our conversation, I felt like I owed her more money. Recently, Jennifer called me and asked if I would be interested in detailing to her organization. Before she could tell me what it was about, I said, “Sure.” She asked me, “Don’t you want to know what we would be doing?”, and I told her, “It doesn’t matter; I know we’ll have fun.” There are few people you work with, where the work doesn’t feel like work. She was one of those people for me. Jennifer made me a better person, and for that I will always be grateful. Today there is a great void where her star once shined, but she will continue to live on in our thoughts and in our hearts, a place she has never left.

My sentiments go out to everyone who knows and cares for Jennifer but especially to you, her loving family. It’s been my pleasure to know Jennifer for many years now. I call her friend—a very, very dear friend. It took me almost no time at all to realize what a truly special person she was. She had the biggest heart and smile of anyone I’ve ever known. I spent a great deal of time with Jennifer over the years and enjoyed her company immensely. I miss her sorely. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your tragic loss and know that I will carry memories of Jennifer with me always. All my best, Bill

Jennifer Mills was a wonderful person. She would not want anyone to mope over her passing, just to get on with life to love and serve. Spending her vacations working in an orphans hospital in Sierra Leone, Jennifer was one of a kind, a gentle leader who truly "modeled the way" in every part of her life. I will miss Jennifer Mills.

Jennifer - "Jen #1," it was an honor and privilege to work for you over the last 9 months - working so closely and learning from you has been a blessing to me in my professional life. You are a beautiful and generous person and I will miss your brilliant mind, energetic and positive disposition. I enjoyed our conversations and your insights on life and our mutual enjoyment of country music and visiting wineries. You were a mentor to me and I looked up to you so much. When you would occasionally say, "You think just like me," during our meetings meant so much and was the highest compliment I could ever receive. I'm so very sad and heavy-hearted that our time together has come to an end. I will carry you and our memories in my heart throughout my career and think of you always, especially your legacy in human capital and training. My continued prayers for your sister Jessica, and your entire family and close friends. God bless you all. ~"Jen #2"

I have many wonderful memories of Jennifer from trips to Ocracoke and the thing that stands out most in all of them is her beautiful smile and wonderful laugh. She brought such joy to everyone around her and I have been in awe of all she has done for others over the years. I am grateful that I got to know her and am inspired by her example to continue to do good where I can. Sending prayers for peace to Jessica and her family and to all who loved her.

Jen, I have many wonderful memories of the times we spent together - slogging through the final miles of the Nashville Country Half in 85+ degree heat, weekend trips to Rehoboth with Cindi and the too-many-to-remember poignant conversations we had about life. The guardian angel you gave me last Christmas hangs in my car as a sweet reminder of our friendship. An genuine angel went to heaven the day you left us but sweet memories of you will live in my heart forever. XOXOXO beautiful lady.
